Introduction/ Scope and contents
These are Al and Edith Ingersoll's photographic views (106 glass color slides that are 2.75" square) of scenery, primarily in La Plata Canyon (Colo.) and elsewhere in the Durango/ Four Corners vicinity -- the only portion of the United States where four states (Arizona, Utah, Colorado, and New Mexico) converge.
Caution: The box, though small, is heavy, because it contains glass slides. The user must be very careful that no slides slip out of their protective storage sleeve compartments and that no slides are dropped.
Administrative information
Arrangement note: The Center retained the creator's original order of these slides, which is basically chronological.
Acquisition information: This slide collection was found in collection at the Center of Southwest Studies. Presumably, the slides had been given to the College/Foundation by the Ingersolls at some previous time.
Processing information: Item-level data entry and re-housing of all of the glass slides in inert plastic sleeves was by Center of Southwest Studies student archival assistants. For the sake of brevity in the online presentation, the following item list of images does not contain all of the detailed information that the Center has recorded in a Microsoft Access database to describe the content of these slides. This guide was produced (including editing of the data) by Todd Ellison, Certified Archivist, Center of Southwest Studies, in December of 2007.
The Center has not yet digitized any of these transparencies, but can do that as requested. (The Center's scanning station includes a Super Coolscan 4000 high-resolution slide scanner.) Please see the image duplication request form and instructions for requesting digital images, at http://swcenter.fortlewis.edu/Info_researchers/sw-4.htm
